[Leica] [OM] IMG: Preventive Maintenance

They are provided by the local utility, which already had poles 
everywhere.  Works great, as long as the cables don't run through 
treetops, where squirrels can gnaw on them.  A patch can be expensive.

I waited for the tree to begin greening up to confirm my observations.  Today, I had the branch removed.  As the lift bucket moves into place, the vulnerable lines can be seen below it.
